5:45 pm Gary Ellis gave the Executive Directors Report: North Country Co-op sent Riverton a thank you for the approval of Rivertons loan continuance to them. North Country would like to solicit investment funds from Riverton. Riverton will address this issue when addressing relationships with other co-ops.
Gary proposed the creation of a new job description in Riverton in light of the recent growth which is supported by the strategic plan. The Board moved to approve this proposal and the motion passed. The new position will be Associate Director, and will be awarded to Valerie Aas. He also proposed that Riverton hire more staff for board support in member co-ops. The board agreed to this as well.
